What year is your car?

If you've got the Aluminum rear arms, you'll probably find the right picture here: http://home.nycap.rr.com/projecthuli...ures%20Day%203

Would you by chance be looking for something like this? This is early ('83 to '85.5) stub shaft/bearings/spacer stackup. The late model cars didn't use spacers inside.HTH

Nice Picture. Turn the outer spacer around. The "thinner" side goes against the bearing race.

Your right about that!..........didn't notice the spacer being on wrong when I laid it down on the floor! Should have looked at it a litttle better.

I'm keeping that picture anyway! Sure wish I had it in a recent go around about what went where. Was a big disconnect as to what an inside and outside chamfer was.

When you look at all of the spacers you see that the 350 ft lbs just pinches all against the inner race of the ball bearing -- lateral force. The outer roller bearing is for the vertical forces.

Getting ready to do a front hub. Sure wish I had a digital camera to take a picture of the bare assembly.
